Thank you for being here, welcome! I understand how overwhelming it can be to find the right therapist. No matter how composed you may seem on the outside, internal struggles can make life feel overwhelming and draining. You might find yourself so focused on the world around you that you forget to check in with your own feelings. Alternatively, you may be so absorbed in your internal experience that it feels like life is racing by without you. Whatever you’re going through, know that you’re not alone, and together we can navigate these challenges.

Life is a long journey embedded with moments of twists and turns. We inevitably encounter challenges and unexpected difficulties. Sometimes, we may find it hard to move forward on our own. Loss of our loved ones, change of environment, experiences of trauma, damaged relationships, deteriorating of health, career uncertainties...all might make you feel overwhelmed by anxiety and powerlessness. You might lack courage and strength to continue your journey. When you wrestle with moments of tough times, let me walk with you. My experiences and expertise can help you regain the power and resilience to thrive through the journey.

I exist to assist the Indigenous Peoples of Canada to achieve sovereignty through the development of coaching leadership skills. Substance use and lateral violence are mechanisms that continue to keep Indigenous Peoples oppressed. This is accomplished through gossip, backstabbing, shunning, and sabotage. We strive to build addiction recovery resiliency to develop and enhance positive coping mechanisms to deal with life on life's terms.

If you have been feeling distant from your partner or finding that your conflicts go around in circles, I am the right therapist for you. Regardless of the specific issue, I find that one thing can often be missing—a close connection, a secure attachment, or sometimes it’s that “spark” that brought them together initially. Through communication and other skills, I support couples in rebuilding that connection. Once this foundation is established, the couples often share that they feel softer and more endearing toward each other, naturally becoming more open to exploring new ways to solve the old issues.

Emotional pain is inevitable in life. Feelings of stress, inadequacy, disappointment, anxiety, anger, and grief are universal and part of the shared human experience. Every individual experience these feelings through different situations and all of us interpret these experiences through varied perspectives because of our culture, personal history and personality differences. To move on, sometimes we learn to mask our difficult emotions by suffering in silence or behaving as though everything is okay. However, when we avoid facing our pain, they may fester within us and result in more shame and turmoil that affects our daily lives.

When was the last time you experienced harmony with your core principles? At Hartwell Counselling, I provide a compassionate and transformative therapy rooted in evidence-based practices such as EMDR. EMDR which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and its the gold standard for treating and processing trauma. EMDR reduces trauma symptoms in a shorter time frame than the traditional talk therapy. Many clients have reported a reduction of traumatic symptoms after the initial few sessions of EMDR. EMDR is not a magic cure for trauma but it might produce some symptoms relief.

Do you walk on eggshells or do you live to please others for fear of making others upset? The reason you can’t seem to heal your chronic stress & depression, health and finances in your relationship, isn't because you haven't already tried talk therapy and various healing modalities; it’s because of a dysregulated nervous system and codependency from long-term narcissistic abuse with an angry person. You need to break free and heal from this within, untangle the confusion in your mind, gain clarity and be your sovereign and most authentic self, where you validate and approve of your core self. Feel safe and confident to be you.

I have a passion for working with youths, young adults, couples, and families on personal and relationship issues. My training is in Marriage and Family Therapy and I have experience working with youths and their families. I understand the difficulties of teenage development, but at the same time, I can appreciate how difficult it is to parent an adolescent. However, the "rebellious teen" is not inevitable and I would be happy to meet with you and your family to discuss your relationships and strategies for making parenting work.

My foundation of therapy is a biopsychosocial-spiritual model, viewing human beings as whole persons of four aspects: physical, psychological, social, and spiritual. Therefore, I am able to see the whole picture on how a brain injury, physical illness, physical trauma, or substance abuse affects human emotions, cognition, behavior, and spirituality, or vice versa. My approach utilizes Cognitive Rehabilitation therapy (CRT), Rogerian therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), and Narrative therapy in order to help my clients toward problem solving and having a new hope for a new life.
